FIRST STEPS is the membership course for Celebration Church. This four-week course is designed to help the participant understand his first steps at Celebration Church, all the while setting him up for his next steps of growth and service.
The FIRST STEPS course takes place on four consecutive weeks
(Lesson One = Week One, Lesson Two = Week Two…). If someone misses a week one month, they can return the following month and make it up. Although people can start at any point, the flow of the course works better if they begin on Week one.
Celebration Family and Guests,
Welcome to Celebration Church where God is met, Love is felt, and Lives are changed. We’re so glad that you’ve chosen to worship with us today whether it’s in-person or online, and we’re praying that the Lord will encourage, strengthen and help you through today’s service.
Today we are continuing our STEPS TO SUCCESS Study through the book of Nehemiah. In this study we’ve been learning how to: 1) pray for success (Nehemiah 1), 2) plan for success (Nehemiah 2), and 3) partner with others for success. Today we’re going to be learning how to deal with and overcome opposition when it arises in our lives.
Throughout January we’ve been encouraging people to get involved in a Life Group. Life Groups are small groups that meet in homes, coffee shops, business places, schools or online to study the Bible. In these Life Groups people grow in their faith and knowledge of God’s Word, they develop strong Christian friendships, they learn how to live out the principles of the Christian life, and they get involved in ministry with others. Life Groups are where real Christian community and life transformation takes place, which is why we want all of our Worship Service attendees to be involved in a Life Group.
At Celebration we have Life Groups for teens, college students, single adults, married adults, senior adults and men and women. Some Groups meet exclusively in person while some meet exclusively Online, and others are hybrid groups with people meeting both in-person and online. You can learn more about Life Groups by going to my.celebrationchurch.org/lifegroups.
By the way, our 2022 Contribution Statements are available for people as they begin to prepare their tax returns. You can access your personal 2022 Contribution Statement by logging in to your Pushpay account.
If you don’t have a Pushpay account set up, please follow these steps.
As you access it, be sure to check and see if what you gave in 2022 to support the Lord’s work locally and around the world was what you intended to give. And if it wasn’t and if you’re able financially, consider catching up on your giving. Remember that it was Jesus who said, “Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full – pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap.” (Luke 6:38)
If you want to Make A Decision, share Prayer Requests with us or Give to support God’s work through Celebration Church, you can do so right here on our Digital Worship Guide (webcc.info). Lives are being changed, marriages are being reconciled, families are being restored and people are experiencing the transforming power of Jesus as a result of your support of our Church’s ministry through your prayers, service and giving.

Lead Pastor, Celebration Church
Kidztown Children’s Ministry is all about partnering with parents to disciple the children who attend our church. Our Uptown ministry targets 1st through 4th Grade students, and our Downtown ministry is aimed at Birth to Kindergarten students. Each ministry area is a safe, secure and nurturing educational environment with our leaders and trained volunteers.
The Children’s Ministry of Celebration Church has a three-fold life purpose for every child, which is no different than the purpose for an adult’s life!
We want children to:
• Learn about Jesus
• Live for Jesus
• Let others know about Jesus
Our three-fold life purpose is designed to be experienced by our babies and toddlers just as much as it can be experienced by our elementary students. We want our babies to feel the love of Jesus the minute they come through our doorway.
As songs are sung and stories are read, children will understand that they are special in God’s Kingdom and will begin to open up their hearts and minds to receive the “Good News” of Jesus Christ. Our goal is for every child to become fully devoted followers of Christ, by asking Jesus to be their forever friend!
It is our privilege to partner with parents, grandparents and other significant adults in a child’s life as we embark on this journey together. The precious children that have been entrusted to our loving care are a treasure to us as well. We believe there is no greater call that to make a difference in the life of a child.

Midpoint is a ministry just for 5th through 7th graders. Because we know that kids at this age are trying to figure out whether they are children or pre-teens, our Midpoint leaders work hard to create a “cool” atmosphere in the context of a very safe and protected environment. Their leaders and pastors teach them an age-appropriate message and then the young people are challenged to talk through how to apply those biblical principles to their lives in small group discussions.
Midpoint meets during all weekend worship services. Students join their parents for the music portion of the service and then are dismissed during the video announcements where leaders take them to their designated ministry area. Midpoint also has periodic outreach events, parties, field trips, games, crafts and other fun experiences centered around 5th through 7th graders.
